I think he is a decent to good TE. I think people had too high of expectations of him. He is the best TE we have had since David Hill. He was a Lion before the Billy Sims era for those who don't know.

Re: 7th Rd Pick @ #211 - Michael Williams , TE Alabama

Pettigrew is one of the most frustrating Lions in a long time. It's clear he has the ability to be a top 5 TE, but especially last year, he does just enough stupid things (usually drops) to cancel out whatever good he does.

I liked the TE we had that we picked up from the Colts... Forgot his name, but he was solid.

Pett has no heart whatsoever...

I'm not sure how to measure 'heart,' but I think the guy has a concentration issue.
